The City Council of Eagle Pass, Texas, held a special meeting on April 7, 2026, addressing several procurement and policy matters.

The council also approved a resolution to accept property for permanent drainage and detention related to a boulevard extension project. Additionally, the council discussed and tabled a proposal for a summer workweek schedule pilot program aimed at improving employee work-life balance without increasing costs to taxpayers. The council addressed concerns regarding the Puerto Verde Global Trade Bridge project, clarifying that the city has not entered into any memorandum of understanding with the project developers and decided to respond formally to the Surface Transportation Board to that effect. Other agenda items included reappointing members to the tax increment reinvestment zone board and authorizing collaboration with the local chamber of commerce to improve the annual Friendship Festival carnival. Motions related to procurement and budget allocations were passed unanimously, reflecting the council's focus on economic development, infrastructure, and community engagement.
